This is my third year reffing and one thing I have been working on is staying in my zone. My first year I watched the ball too much-this year I have called out of my primary very rarely. However I wonder know if I have gone too far and am too reluctant to call the fouls inbetween the zones or just beyond. When I am working with a similarly experienced ref or a vet that I have worked with a lot and built up a rapport things are fine. But I didn't do well last night working with a new partner with 10+ more years experience than myself. Tommorow night I am working with one of the top officials in our area with a lot of pull on who gets assigned where. I have not worked with him since I was a rookie and want to show I have improved. I'll start by pregaming the following scenarios but before I do can I get some vets experience on the following scenarios in my last game (all 3 man):

1. I am L and see a shooting foul near the lowest block on the far side of the lane on the C's side. If I had initiated a rotation it would have been my primary but the ball just recently got there and I hadn't. Make the call or defer to the C?

2. I am T and the ball is low on the same side-near the second position on the lane line. Not much happening in my zone. I see a foul on the shot. I am inclined to not call it as it is definitely L's zone-but the foul came from the back/side of the player and L might have been straightlined and missed it. I (probably) got the best look at it. Call it or hold your whistle as I shouldn't have been looking there anyway?

3. I am T. Foul near the free throw line. A couple feet past the halfway point and definitely in C's zone-but only a few feet. I waited a second to give my P a chance then called it. Player complains about late whistle. C backed me up and says good call. Ignore the player, warn them, or T?
